Blackhawk boys 'put it to' West Valley

The Cheney High boys basketball team pulled off a sweep of the Great Northern League’s Spokane Valley schools last week — the crowning jewel of which was a 22-point thumping of second-place West Valley.

Blackhawks head coach Gregg Smith said the home win, while maybe not the equalizer, helped put a little salve on the two previous losses to the Eagles. Cheney fell 65-56 on the road on Jan. 9 and 57-55 at home Dec. 8 on a buzzer-beating basket.

“We flat put it to them,” Smith said of the Jan. 23 home game. “I think the guys were just upset.”
